Bhīmasena’s Digvijaya and Tribute Return (भीमस्य दिग्विजयः धननिवेदनं च)
सुमहान् संनिपातो5भूद् धनंजयबृहन्तयो: । न शशाक बृहन्तस्तु सोढुं पाण्डवविक्रमम्,उस समय अर्जुन और बृहन्तमें बड़े जोरकी मार-काट शुरू हुई, परंतु बृहन्त पाण्डुपुत्र अर्जुनके पराक्रमको न सह सके
sumaḥān sannipāto 'bhūd dhanañjaya-bṛhantayoḥ | na śaśāka bṛhantas tu soḍhuṃ pāṇḍava-vikramam ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：陀难阇耶（阿周那）与布哩汉多之间爆发了极其激烈的冲突；然而布哩汉多终究无法承受这位般度之子阿周那的威力与勇武——显示真正的武勇，根植于严整的技艺与正当的旨意，足以压倒徒然的对抗。
